Coping with different abilities
Description
Sue Cowley reflects on a day's filming at Welford Primary in Birmingham with NQT Chris Farnen's Y5 class of thirty mixed ability pupils. In this video they focus on how Chris copes with the wide range of abilities in his class. He mainly uses his TA to support those children with special needs. Sue reminds him that he also needs to challenge his higher achieving pupils and encourages him to differentiate tasks and use imaginative ways to engage his class differently in the same lesson.
